"It ... it's alright Cassie, I'm sure h-he didn't mean anything by it," Karen says as she joins them at their table, "D-do you like the food? I w-wish I could still eat it," she smiles weakly, "but cooking it is half the fun."

She gives Cassie a grateful smile, "Th-thank you Cassie, I re-really appreciate it," she decides to ignore the wink, "I see you as a friend as well. B-but I don't think I made m-many friends in there today," she motions with her head to the kitchen, "H-have you ever th-thought of a nickname?"

She looks a bit disappointed at Yoshi when he disapproves of her self-found nickname, "T-Tatsumaki sounds n-nice."

Kiyana turns to James, squeezing his hand, “Do you think Ryan did the right thing?” she whispers.

James looks around to make sure no one is paying to much attention to them and says in a low voice "I don't know babe... I mean that guy was willing to kill millions of people. He was a bad guy. I mean I don't think we should kill people lightly, but in cases of self-defense or in the defense of innocent people... we can't pull our punches all the time. I'm not comfortable with it, but I don't think it was the wrong thing. By the way, it was totally cool what you were doing with your water powers yesterday. You are getting better and more powerful all the time... pretty soon you just might be the best of our little group babe. Hehe my girlfriend could so beat me up, better not do anything to make you mad." James smiles lightly and holds her hand while finishing his breakfast.

Kiyana blushes sweetly, "Oh you are such a charmer, James," she gives him a quite smooch on the cheek and nuzzles up close to him.

She gestures with her finger and moves orange Juice into the air and makes a design that forms a heart outline with a "J + K" in the center; floating in the air for everyone to see. She smiles, blushing once more.

She whispers to James, "My new powers are scary, yes? They just seem to be growing... I hope I can keep them in control..."

"I doubt that they will be too serious about what was said." nods as she eats. "It's very fulfilling. Better than my few efforts to cook in Atlanta. I have a unique talent to burn water it seems.."

Stops to think a bit at that question. "I.. well, it's hard enough not having a real name to begin with, so I did not take to well to my codename, it's.. silly and I really didn't feel confortable with it. Granted, some folks online seem to think my opinions fulfill it and my name. I think they might be trying too hard to win my attention.." she looks to Yoshi. "what did the slang call them? fanboys?"

 

[Aenion]

"I h-hope so ... B-burn water? Oh I see," Karen giggles, "I had to cook often f-for my brothers when m-my parents were out of town. They're all older th-than me but they could ... couldn't bake an egg if they're life depended on it," she said with grin, "I kind of m-miss them though."

She nods, "If you're not c-comfortable with it you shouldn't use it... Y-you have fanboys?"

Kelly smiles at Kiyana's show of affection for James. "Thats really cool, Kiyana." Kelly says, clapping her hands in excitement. "I wish Tommy was here with us. I wonder if I can do anything like that to show Tommy?" she wonders aloud. She concentrates on the water vapor in the room and condensenses it into a puffy white cloud in the shap of a heart, and a bit of electricity gives the image of an arrow going through it. It floats up next to the other heart, and smaller bits of fluff break off to form a K and a J.

"Kiyana, my mom works with Elites that can't keep their powers under-control, and they are nowhere as together as you are sweetie, I don't think you have anything to worry about." she says, smiling at the other girl.

 

[Samnell]

"So, Mark, Nightchild, whats the plan?"

We have a plan? Mark shrugs, "I guess we need to figure out what we're supposed to do here and try to get home. Not sure how we get either one done yet. But we'll manage."

Gadget smirks, "Cute... that is pretty cool."

"Kiyana, my mom works with Elites that can't keep their powers under-control, and they are nowhere as together as you are sweetie, I don't think you have anything to worry about." she says, smiling at the other girl.

Kiyana blushes, she was obviously not intending for anyone else to hear; she smiles, "Thank you."

Gadget replies to Mark, "I have an idea... but it is going to take some time to create a working device that can get you guys home. But I think with the equipment I have on hand, I can whip something up."

Karen & Cassie

"Oh cool Yoshi, wow, really?" he says sarcastically, "so no one cares that I am going to be an international superstar; I mean not only will I be on Legacy, but also a musical phenom... yeah I guess it isn't that cool, but sheesh."

Yoshi grins, "Of course Cassie you can be in my videos, you too Karen. I will let you all join in the fun... still tinking of a musical name... although I figure Yoshi should do just fine as well... going to need new threads too. Man I am going to be one sick MC..."

Yoshi replies to Karen, "Yeah she has fanboys, and as long as they stay that way I won't hve to break their collective faces."

Anika's sour expression fades somewhat at Ryan's explanation. She flashes him an apologetic look before going back to staring at her waffle.

We have a plan? Mark shrugs, "I guess we need to figure out what we're supposed to do here and try to get home. Not sure how we get either one done yet. But we'll manage."

"What if we're not here to do anything?" Anika asks, glad to focus on something else. "Something big was going down when the Eternals sent us here. Ryan seems to be key to Overseer's plans, maybe they just sent us here to protect him from whatever is happening back home. If that's the case, then 'what we're supposed to do here' is not go home."

 

[Hammerhead]

Ryan shakes his head. "No, I don't think that's it. They would have had no real reason to send all of us back here, unless as some kind of bodyguard or something. Which I doubt, but I guess the best policy we can adopt is to wait. If we're supposed to stay here, according to those loser Eternals, well then nothing happens. If something's going to happen, then we'll be rested and ready." Ryan shrugs.

"And while we're showing off..." Ryan says, smiling. I generally don't do stuff like this. I prefer walking to flying, really, unlike almost everyone else on this team. Ryan walks towards the sink and turns on the faucet, allowing water to fill his cupped hands. A bright glow emanates from his hands as his brow furrows in concentration.

"Whoops," Ryan says, tossing a small, slightly misshapen ball of solid gold onto the table. "I guess I'm not very good at that yet. I should just stick to gold bricks or something."
